Characterization In Vitro and In Vivo of a Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Virus from a Fatal Case
(PLoS ONE, 2013-01-10)Pandemic 2009 H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza viruses caused mild symptoms in most infected patients. However, a greater rate of severe disease was observed in healthy young adults and children without co-morbid ... -
Polymorphism in the ELOVL6 Gene Is Associated with a Major QTL Effect on Fatty Acid Composition in Pigs
(PLoS ONE, 2013-01-14)Background: The ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6), the only elongase related to de novo lipogenesis, catalyzes the ratelimiting step in the elongation cycle by controlling the fatty acid balance in ... -
Exposure to a Low Pathogenic A/H7N2 Virus in Chickens Protects against Highly Pathogenic A/H7N1 Virus but Not against Subsequent Infection with A/H5N1
(PLoS ONE, 2013-03-04)Recent evidences have demonstrated that the presence of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIV) may play an important role in host ecology and transmission of avian influenza viruses (AIV). While ... -
Variability-specific differential gene expression across reproductive stages in sows
(Animal, 2013-10-11)Differential gene expression analyses typically focus on departures across mathematical expectations (i.e. mean) from two or more groups of microarrays, without considering alternative patterns of ... -
Living on the Edge: Demography of the Slender-Billed Gull in the Western Mediterranean
(PLoS ONE, 2014-03-24)Small and peripheral populations are typically vulnerable to local extinction processes but important for the metapopulation dynamics of species. The Slender-billed gull (Chroicocephalus genei) is a ... -
Revealing additional preference heterogeneity with an extended random parameter logit model: the case of extra virgin olive oil
(Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014-07-09)Methods that account for preference heterogeneity have received a significant amount of attention in recent literature.Most of them have focused on preference heterogeneity around the mean of the random ... -
Evaluation of the sustainability of contrasted pig farming systems: integrated evaluation
(Animal, 2014-08-28)The aim of this paper is to present an approach for an integrated evaluation of the sustainability of pig farming systems, taking into account the three classical pillars: economy, environment and ... -
Genome data from a sixteenth century pig illuminate modern breed relationships
(Heredity, 2014-09-10)Ancient DNA (aDNA) provides direct evidence of historical events that have modeled the genome of modern individuals. In livestock, resolving the differences between the effects of initial domestication ... -
Woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann ecology and its relationship with climatic variables and natural enemies in Mediterranean areas
(Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2014-10-22)A multilateral approach that includes both biotic and climatic data was developed to detect the main variables that affect the ecology and population dynamics of woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum ... -
The Lineage-Specific Evolution of Aquaporin Gene Clusters Facilitated Tetrapod Terrestrial Adaptation
(PLoS ONE, 2014-11-26)A major physiological barrier for aquatic organisms adapting to terrestrial life is dessication in the aerial environment. This barrier was nevertheless overcome by the Devonian ancestors of extant ... -
Alternative Methods for the Detection of Emerging Marine Toxins: Biosensors, Biochemical Assays and Cell-Based Assays
(Marine Drugs, 2014-11-26)The emergence of marine toxins in water and seafood may have a considerable impact on public health. Although the tendency in Europe is to consolidate, when possible, official reference methods based ... -
Gender-related differences in the formation of skatole metabolites by specific CYP450 in porcine hepatic S9 fractions
(Animal, 2014-12-03)Higher accumulation of skatole in the fat of male pigs compared with female pigs might be due to gender-related differences in the rate of skatole degradation. In the present study, skatole metabolites ... -
Changes in bread-making quality attributes of bread wheat varieties cultivated in Spain during the 20th century
(European Journal of Agronomy, 2014-12-08)Genetic gains in quality traits were assessed in grain samples from 4 field experiments involving 16 bread wheat varieties representative of those most widely cultivated in Spain during the 20th century. ... -
